His comments caused some
people on social media to cheer the idea of Cuban joining
Trump's presidential ticket, should the real-estate magnate win
the Republican nomination.

So on Thursday, Business Insider reached out to Cuban —
via his Cyber Dust app — to ask if he would consider running
for vice president if asked by Trump, a fellow billionaire.

"Would I consider?" Cuban responded. "Yes."

However, the "Shark Tank" star and outspoken investor said he
would probably not end up accepting the hypothetical offer.

"Would I do it. Probably not," he continued. "I'm not cut out for
politics. At least [the] way they are now. Maybe in the future if
Trump truly impacts how the game is played."

In
his Cyber Dust post earlier in the week, Cuban wrote that
Trump's unorthodox presidential bid "changed the game" with his
blunt approach to the campaign trail. Trump is leading most of
the polls of the GOP primary.

"Up until Trump announced his candidacy the conventional wisdom
was that you had to be a professional politician in order to
run," Cuban wrote. "You had to have a background that was
politically scrubbed. In other words, smart people who didn't
live perfect lives could never run. Smart people who didn't want
their families put under the media spotlight wouldn't run.

"The Donald is changing all of that. He has changed the game and
for that he deserves a lot of credit."

"I don't care what his actual positions are," Cuban wrote. "I
don't care if he says the wrong thing. He says what's on his
mind. He gives honest answers rather than prepared answers. This
is more important than anything any candidate has done in years."
